Comments/Problems:
1) Installer didn't autodetect onboard TG3 NIC. When installer asked me to
specify manually what modules to load, I selected tg3, and the NIC was
detected just fine, and the installation from network using ftp worked well.
2) Locales-package asked what locales to generate, I selected a couple, but
they were not generated.. I had to run "dpkg-reconfigure locales" and
re-select the locales to get them generated. This same bug was also in woody
installer.. I didn't select any tasks / package sets to install when I was
prompted for that.. if it might have something to do with this.
